00:00.000 --> 00:06.000
Tired of the everyday grind?

00:06.000 --> 00:12.000
Ever dream of a life of romantic adventure?

00:12.000 --> 00:16.000
Want to get away from it all?

00:16.000 --> 00:20.000
We offer you Escape!

00:20.000 --> 00:24.000
Escape!

00:24.000 --> 00:30.000
Designed to free you from the four walls of today for a half hour of high adventure.

00:30.000 --> 00:34.000
Escape!

00:34.000 --> 00:40.000
Escape!

00:40.000 --> 00:46.000
You are the subject of an experiment.

00:46.000 --> 00:52.000
An experiment to make you the most powerful man on earth.

00:52.000 --> 01:04.000
While if it succeeds, from that moment you will be forever locked in a world from which there can be no escape.

01:04.000 --> 01:32.000
So listen now as Escape brings you Irving Reese's extraordinary story, The Man From Tomorrow.

01:32.000 --> 01:36.000
It started with a want ad in the daily paper.

01:36.000 --> 01:41.000
Wanted, ex-fighter pilot must be in perfect health and prepared for rigid tests.

01:41.000 --> 01:47.000
Successful candidate will receive good pay and will be given opportunity to contribute to daring experiment and world betterment.

01:47.000 --> 01:51.000
Science Associates, 126 West Street.

01:51.000 --> 01:58.000
126 West Street turned out to be one of those ultra-modern, super-scientific buildings.

01:58.000 --> 02:03.000
No windows and air conditioned as cool as a north wind off an iceberg.

02:03.000 --> 02:06.000
About 60 guys had answered the ad.

02:06.000 --> 02:07.000
Hi Major.

02:07.000 --> 02:08.000
Hi Randy.

02:08.000 --> 02:11.000
You've been a long time.

02:11.000 --> 02:15.000
Some of the faces were familiar, guys that had been in my fighter wing.

02:15.000 --> 02:20.000
We sat there, 60 of us, and waited.

02:20.000 --> 02:25.000
An hour, two hours, nothing happened.

02:25.000 --> 02:32.000
I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting out of here. This place gives me claustrophobia.

02:32.000 --> 02:35.000
It's locked. We're locked in here.

02:35.000 --> 02:39.000
And even before this, had a chance to sink in, another door opened on the far side of the room.

02:39.000 --> 02:43.000
A guy with a white mask on his face came in carrying a Thompson sub-machine gun.

02:43.000 --> 02:48.000
Hey, hit the dash!

02:48.000 --> 02:54.000
They all flattened on the floor except me. I made a dash for the man in the mask, but he disappeared as quickly as he'd come.

02:54.000 --> 02:56.000
Hey, how come you didn't hit the floor dash? You're tired of living?

02:56.000 --> 03:00.000
We were shooting blanks, couldn't you see? Weren't any bullets chipping anything? That was a gag.

03:00.000 --> 03:03.000
I don't like this. Come on, let's crash the door and get out of this rat trap.

03:03.000 --> 03:05.000
Save it, save it, Randy. It won't do any good.

03:05.000 --> 03:11.000
They can keep us bottled up till they're good and ready to let us go.

03:11.000 --> 03:18.000
And then something else. Thick, black, acrid smoke pouring out of the air conditioning vents.

03:18.000 --> 03:22.000
And a sound from somewhere, an airplane diving.

03:22.000 --> 03:30.000
Every pilot remembers with horror the smell of burning oil from a plane out of control.

03:30.000 --> 03:36.000
It hit us way back and deep down. Some of the guys got panicking. I pushed Randy down to the floor.

03:36.000 --> 03:48.000
You'll get more air down here. Relax.

03:48.000 --> 03:55.000
Then the blower's reversed and that smoke was sucked out quickly.

03:55.000 --> 03:57.000
And a loudspeaker cut in from nowhere.

03:57.000 --> 03:59.000
Attention, please.

03:59.000 --> 04:03.000
Hey, quiet down, fellas. Quiet down. Take it easy.

04:03.000 --> 04:09.000
For the past two hours, you have been under close observation as a necessary part of this test.

04:09.000 --> 04:12.000
You were warned in advance the test would be rigid.

04:12.000 --> 04:17.000
As you file out past the guard, you will receive a token compensation for your time and discomfort.

04:17.000 --> 04:21.000
We now ask you all to leave except the man who ran for the gunner.

04:21.000 --> 04:29.000
The door is now open. Thank you.

04:29.000 --> 04:32.000
Looks like you got the job, Major.

04:32.000 --> 04:37.000
Looks like I'm gonna shove it right back in their faces, Randy.

04:37.000 --> 04:40.000
Well, so long.

04:40.000 --> 04:41.000
Yeah.

04:41.000 --> 04:42.000
See you soon.

04:42.000 --> 04:52.000
So long, Randy. Take it easy.

04:52.000 --> 04:54.000
Your name, please.

04:54.000 --> 04:59.000
Well, I hardly expected to find a blonde at the bottom of this.

04:59.000 --> 05:00.000
You will come with me, please.

05:00.000 --> 05:07.000
Don't give me orders, Blondie. I just want to see the guy responsible for this. Then I'm getting out of here.

05:07.000 --> 05:10.000
I take it you have lost interest in contributing to the world benefit.

05:10.000 --> 05:16.000
That what it said in the ad? Well, whatever your lofty purpose, I don't like cold-blooded cruelty.

05:16.000 --> 05:21.000
Unfortunately, personal feelings cannot enter into these steps toward our objectives.

05:21.000 --> 05:23.000
Then your objectives are wrong.

05:23.000 --> 05:25.000
You will be better able to judge that when you know what they are.

05:25.000 --> 05:33.000
I don't think I'm interested. And if I may have a personal feeling, callousness is unattractive enough in a man.

05:33.000 --> 05:39.000
Neither your feelings nor mine will matter in this project, Major. I understand that it was.

05:39.000 --> 05:43.000
Mr. Mr. Kenman, the war is over, Miss.

05:43.000 --> 05:45.000
Dr. Frost.

05:45.000 --> 05:47.000
Poetic.

05:47.000 --> 05:48.000
I beg your pardon?

05:48.000 --> 05:51.000
Nothing. I sometimes mutter to myself.

05:51.000 --> 06:00.000
If it is possible for you to unlock your quite superior intellect from emotional reactions common to schoolgirls and fishwives,

06:00.000 --> 06:07.000
my senior colleague, Professor Baird, and I will attempt to convince you on the only basis that it should appeal to a mature mind.

06:07.000 --> 06:09.000
Thanks.

06:11.000 --> 06:14.000
By all means, Dr. Frost.

06:14.000 --> 06:16.800
The

06:33.000 --> 06:36.000
Oh, but Professor Baird, what did you get the notion of asking for fighter pilots?

06:36.000 --> 06:42.000
Simple. Only one man in ten thousand was able to qualify mentally and physical for fighter training.

06:42.000 --> 06:50.000
Additional eliminations due to flunk-outs, mortality, and training in combat brings the total to one in twenty thousand.

06:50.000 --> 07:02.000
The standards we applied during the two hours in which we observed your every action and reaction raises the mathematical incidence of your sensory acuity to approximately one in a hundred thousand.

07:02.000 --> 07:03.000
I'm flattered.

07:03.000 --> 07:07.000
You'll have greater reason to be if our experiment proves successful.

07:07.000 --> 07:11.000
You will be the only man on earth possessed of your powers.

07:11.000 --> 07:13.000
You will be the man from tomorrow.

07:13.000 --> 07:15.000
How do you propose to go about that?

07:15.000 --> 07:18.000
We will first show you how we've trained other individuals.

07:18.000 --> 07:21.000
Dr. Frost, will you proceed with the demonstration?

07:23.000 --> 07:25.000
Come in, Mr. Logan.

07:27.000 --> 07:32.000
Mr. Logan, have you ever been in this part of the laboratories before?

07:32.000 --> 07:33.000
No.

07:33.000 --> 07:36.000
Would you describe it, please?

07:36.000 --> 07:41.000
It is a rectangular room, forty by twenty.

07:41.000 --> 07:46.000
The ceiling is eighteen and a half feet high.

07:46.000 --> 07:52.000
There's a desk twelve feet from me, slightly to my right.

07:52.000 --> 07:56.000
There are two people seated at it.

07:56.000 --> 07:58.000
One has just risen.

07:58.000 --> 08:00.000
That will be all. Thank you, Mr. Logan.

08:00.000 --> 08:02.000
Well, Mr. Kenman?

08:02.000 --> 08:06.000
It would be very impressive if any schoolboy with normal vision couldn't do as well.

08:06.000 --> 08:10.000
Agreed. Mr. Logan is totally blind.

08:17.000 --> 08:21.000
Looking back now, I can hardly believe my own impressions.

08:21.000 --> 08:27.000
A blind man was followed by a deaf mute, then by a paraplegic who'd lost all control of his vision.

08:27.000 --> 08:32.000
Followed by a deaf mute, then by a paraplegic who'd lost all sense of touch and smell.

08:32.000 --> 08:34.000
The demonstrations were incredible.

08:34.000 --> 08:38.000
Not one of these persons possessed physical senses above the average.

08:38.000 --> 08:45.000
The deprivation of one sense or another in the case of the blind or the deaf man stimulated nature's desire to compensate for the loss.

08:45.000 --> 08:46.000
But what are you trying to prove?

08:46.000 --> 08:50.000
That man has powers even now that are beyond his comprehension.

08:50.000 --> 08:53.000
We wish to explore those powers.

08:53.000 --> 09:05.000
Suppose one, one nearly perfect man with superior sensory perception to begin with could develop the extension of his five senses to the maximum degree we've just observed.

09:05.000 --> 09:07.000
What do you think would happen?

09:07.000 --> 09:10.000
I don't know. Neither do we.

09:10.000 --> 09:19.000
But it is our conviction that this man would also acquire a new sense, a sixth sense, that would endow him with a power never dreamed of before.

09:19.000 --> 09:22.000
Don't you think it's a dimension worth exploring?

09:22.000 --> 09:27.000
Maybe. How could anybody accomplish that?

09:27.000 --> 09:34.000
By training. By producing the circumstances that surround the blind man, the deaf man, and the handicapped.

09:34.000 --> 09:38.000
You would have to agree to cut yourself off from the outside world for three years.

09:38.000 --> 09:41.000
You would spend six months living in a pitch dark laboratory.

09:41.000 --> 09:46.000
You would sleep, eat, function in a world of darkness.

09:46.000 --> 09:50.000
We will use various sound devices to train and measure your hearing responses.

09:50.000 --> 09:55.000
After that, six months will be devoted to simulating the world of the deaf mute, and so on.

09:55.000 --> 09:59.000
You will be paid $20,000 at the end of the three years.

09:59.000 --> 10:03.000
All the necessities of living will be provided during that time.

10:03.000 --> 10:12.000
Then a test will be made, and if our predictions are realized, you will be signed for an additional five years at $20,000 per year.

10:12.000 --> 10:16.000
Dr. Frost will be in charge of the training program.

10:16.000 --> 10:18.000
Do you wish to undertake it?

10:18.000 --> 10:20.000
Well...

10:25.000 --> 10:31.000
That's a pretty serious move. I'd like to think about it.

10:31.000 --> 10:36.000
You have all the facts clearly, Mr. Kenman. We would like a decision now.

10:36.000 --> 10:40.000
You think feeling might enter into my considerations, Doctor? That what you're afraid of?

10:40.000 --> 10:47.000
Afraid? Fear is merely an emotion, Mr. Kenman. I have learned to control all my emotions.

10:47.000 --> 10:48.000
I wonder.

10:48.000 --> 10:49.000
I beg your pardon.

10:49.000 --> 10:52.000
I was muttering again.

10:52.000 --> 10:55.000
What I meant to say is I agree to undertake your experiment.

10:55.000 --> 11:12.000
We will return to escape in just a moment, but first, forest fires, nine out of every ten, are made by man.

11:12.000 --> 11:20.000
So redouble your efforts to eliminate forest fires, crush out every cigarette, break matches in two and grind them with your fingers,

11:20.000 --> 11:24.000
douse down campfires and turn them over until November remains.

11:24.000 --> 11:29.000
Save a fortune in property and save human lives.

11:29.000 --> 11:54.000
And now, back to escape.

11:54.000 --> 12:01.000
I was given two days to settle my affairs such as they were. It meant saying goodbye to my landlady and packing a bag.

12:01.000 --> 12:15.000
And then I reported back to scientific associates, to Dr. Frost of the beautiful face and figure, all ice, and Professor Baird, tall, quiet and clinical.

12:15.000 --> 12:22.000
I was led into a pitch dark room, blacker than the blackest night that was to be my home for six months.

12:22.000 --> 12:27.000
It had a bad bathroom, closets. All I had to do was find them.

12:27.000 --> 12:33.000
I won't waste time telling you what that was like. Just close your eyes tight and try to find your way around a room that's familiar to you.

12:33.000 --> 12:46.000
You'll get the idea. I was still stumbling around three weeks later when I reported for my daily training with Dr. Frost in the adjoining laboratory, which was even blacker if possible.

12:46.000 --> 12:47.000
Are you hurt?

12:47.000 --> 12:50.000
Oh, you wouldn't care if I broke my leg.

12:50.000 --> 12:51.000
There is a chair nearby.

12:51.000 --> 12:53.000
I know. I just fell over it.

12:53.000 --> 12:54.000
Oh.

12:54.000 --> 12:56.000
We can begin as soon as you're settled.

12:56.000 --> 12:59.000
Yeah.

12:59.000 --> 13:04.000
Lucky it's so dark. I'd have to apologize for wearing my pajamas.

13:04.000 --> 13:06.000
Don't you like dressing?

13:06.000 --> 13:12.000
Oh, I love it when I can find my pants.

13:12.000 --> 13:16.000
Today's exercise will be recognition of pure tones.

13:16.000 --> 13:22.000
Here is an example.

13:22.000 --> 13:33.000
That is 1000 cycles or a thousand vibrations per second, stripped of all harmonics.

13:33.000 --> 13:35.000
What would you say that was?

13:35.000 --> 13:37.000
Oh, 1100.

13:37.000 --> 13:40.000
It is 1500 cycles.

13:40.000 --> 13:51.000
Now, please tell me when you begin to hear the next tone and what the frequency is.

13:51.000 --> 13:55.000
I couldn't make the slightest dent in that glacial reserve.

13:55.000 --> 14:01.000
Tried to match her at her own game for a while, but she loved it. And I'm human.

14:01.000 --> 14:07.000
Anyway, at the end of the sixth month, I could ramble through the whole place and never stub my toe.

14:07.000 --> 14:15.000
It was amazing how you learned to sense things in the dark and what your ears could do.

14:15.000 --> 14:25.000
800.

14:25.000 --> 14:31.000
Oh, 4000.

14:31.000 --> 14:32.000
Out.

14:32.000 --> 14:34.000
Good. Excellent.

14:34.000 --> 14:38.000
Mr. Kenman, you're 20 decibels greater than the average ear. That's very good.

14:38.000 --> 14:43.000
Dr. Frost, I can't see you, but do I take the note of enthusiasm in your voice?

14:43.000 --> 14:46.000
Satisfaction, Mr. Kenman. The experiment so far...

14:46.000 --> 14:50.000
Dr. Frost, have you ever let yourself go?

14:50.000 --> 15:01.000
Mr. Henman, I'm not nearly so naive as you assume, nor have any of your innuendos or mumblings for the past six months escaped me.

15:01.000 --> 15:06.000
I told you in the beginning that neither your feelings nor mine would have any bearing on this project.

15:06.000 --> 15:08.000
You haven't answered my question.

15:08.000 --> 15:12.000
I am fully aware of the nature of biological stresses.

15:12.000 --> 15:15.000
In a scientific way, of course.

15:15.000 --> 15:20.000
What distinguishes man from the animal is his understanding of these stresses, but mostly his control.

15:20.000 --> 15:26.000
Control is a traffic cop with a stop sign, Doctor, but eventually the traffic has to go somewhere.

15:26.000 --> 15:31.000
I can understand the frustration of your masculine ego, especially in this forced loneliness of the experiment.

15:31.000 --> 15:32.000
Thank you.

15:32.000 --> 15:36.000
But we have only begun. We have two years or more to go.

15:36.000 --> 15:40.000
The first phase is highly successful. As a scientist, I am very pleased.

15:40.000 --> 15:59.000
Strange, my hearing is so good that I have yet to hear your heartbeat.

15:59.000 --> 16:03.000
Then there was light again, but no hearing.

16:03.000 --> 16:13.000
They devised some newfangled earplugs, and I began six months of silence, six months of being deaf as a doorknob.

16:13.000 --> 16:21.000
Deaf, but not quite deaf because I began to see sounds, to feel sounds, like waves against my skin.

16:21.000 --> 16:25.000
I began to hear with my body, with my pores.

16:25.000 --> 16:29.000
Have you ever touched a sound? Ever seen thunder?

16:29.000 --> 16:38.000
I get so you can look at sounds, almost see the waves they make, trembling in the air.

16:38.000 --> 16:43.000
And have you ever tried silence?

16:43.000 --> 16:50.000
Try, not saying a word, not a syllable for an hour, a day.

16:50.000 --> 17:00.000
I tried it for six months, until all the unsaid words piled up inside my head clung like unborn sounds at the back of my throat.

17:00.000 --> 17:07.000
Whoever said silence is gold and never felt the lump of lead that accumulates inside you.

17:07.000 --> 17:11.000
Silence.

17:11.000 --> 17:20.000
Then the six months ended, and I felt the vibrations of her footsteps down the long hall.

17:20.000 --> 17:29.000
And I saw the door opening, a split second before you would normally see it open, for my eyes were my ears and they were a jump ahead of what they'd ever been before.

17:29.000 --> 17:34.000
I saw her lips move, and I could read every word.

17:34.000 --> 17:38.000
In a moment you will hear again, in just a moment.

17:38.000 --> 17:44.000
Then she removed the fancy earplugs and the little canyon I'd been living in widened to a continent.

17:44.000 --> 17:48.000
And then her moving lips became sounds.

17:48.000 --> 17:52.000
Can you hear now? Can you hear me?

17:52.000 --> 17:56.000
Nod to me or raise your finger when you can hear the sound of my voice.

17:56.000 --> 17:59.000
I heard you five minutes ago.

17:59.000 --> 18:00.000
Were the plugs defective?

18:00.000 --> 18:03.000
No, no, I read your lips.

18:03.000 --> 18:06.000
Incidentally, I take it it's okay for me to talk now.

18:06.000 --> 18:10.000
Of course.

18:10.000 --> 18:14.000
Have I been a good boy? Have I done everything you wanted?

18:14.000 --> 18:21.000
So much so, Mr. Kenman, that we're giving you a few days rest before we begin your training for taste and touch.

18:21.000 --> 18:23.000
Can I do anything I want?

18:23.000 --> 18:26.000
Anything, within reason.

18:26.000 --> 18:29.000
I'd like to have a drink.

18:29.000 --> 18:34.000
Strangely enough, I'd like to have you join me.

18:34.000 --> 18:37.000
Perhaps that can be arranged.

18:55.000 --> 19:02.000
By the way, do you have a first name or are you only a title followed by frost, followed by a long string of degrees?

19:02.000 --> 19:04.000
My first name is Jessica.

19:04.000 --> 19:07.000
Jessica? That's more like it.

19:07.000 --> 19:10.000
Jessica.

19:10.000 --> 19:13.000
Jessica.

19:13.000 --> 19:17.000
After all that silence, it's good just to say a woman's name.

19:17.000 --> 19:22.000
Well, until the experiment is completely over, Mr. Kenman, it had better remain Dr. Frost.

19:22.000 --> 19:24.000
Okay.

19:24.000 --> 19:28.000
Dr. Jessica Frost, plus degrees.

19:28.000 --> 19:35.000
But when I get to take you out for a drink as a normal human being and not as a guinea pig, let's just go to a cocktail bar where they don't cheat.

19:35.000 --> 19:36.000
Cheat?

19:36.000 --> 19:37.000
No.

19:37.000 --> 19:43.000
You ask for a particular brand, this bartender pours out a few drops of it and then fills the rest of the jigger with some of that cheap stuff behind the bar.

19:43.000 --> 19:44.000
How do you know?

19:44.000 --> 19:49.000
Oh, I've been trained in these little subtleties of life by a mastermind.

19:49.000 --> 19:56.000
But one thing, I can spot the different gurgling sounds of the bottles, and then too I seem to have an uncanny knack these days of seeing around corners.

19:56.000 --> 19:58.000
Good, good.

19:58.000 --> 20:06.000
Well, despite the watered down booze, I give you a toast. To you.

20:06.000 --> 20:09.000
You've been very cooperative about this.

20:09.000 --> 20:15.000
Mr. Kenman, I want you to know that I like you very much.

20:15.000 --> 20:20.000
Well, now I'm sure the experiment is a success because I've developed a sixth sense.

20:20.000 --> 20:35.000
I distinctly heard a lovely lady saying, I like you very much, and that couldn't possibly have been you.

20:35.000 --> 20:41.000
I rather enjoyed the touch tests. It was one area I never realized held such hidden powers.

20:41.000 --> 20:47.000
After a few months, my fingertips knew the difference between crystal and diamonds.

20:47.000 --> 20:51.000
I could tell if you had a suntan merely by touching your cheek.

20:51.000 --> 20:58.000
And as for the taste test, food suddenly became a symphony concert. Sourness had many degrees.

20:58.000 --> 21:03.000
Sweetness had a range as wide as the spectrum of a rainbow.

21:03.000 --> 21:14.000
And then, then all of my highly developed senses brought on a new perception, something over and beyond, something added to the rest.

21:14.000 --> 21:18.000
More than a summation of all the senses.

21:18.000 --> 21:24.000
Did you ever swerve the steering wheel of your car suddenly without knowing why, and then you realized the move saved your life?

21:24.000 --> 21:32.000
Or one day you thought of an old friend whom you hadn't seen or communicated with in years, and then you found a letter from him in the box that morning?

21:32.000 --> 21:36.000
Coincidence? Black magic?

21:36.000 --> 21:40.000
I once thought so. I didn't anymore.

21:40.000 --> 21:48.000
I had a knowledge beyond knowledge.

21:48.000 --> 21:50.000
Sit down, Mr. Kenman.

21:50.000 --> 21:51.000
Thank you.

21:51.000 --> 21:59.000
Your period of training has been completed. We've taken the final tests and we've decided to retain you.

21:59.000 --> 22:02.000
Will you execute the contract, please, Mr. Kenman?

22:02.000 --> 22:08.000
It's the arrangement as decided. $20,000 a year for the next five years.

22:08.000 --> 22:11.000
Is anything wrong, Mr. Kenman?

22:11.000 --> 22:15.000
No, nothing wrong. Not now.

22:15.000 --> 22:18.000
Mr. Kenman, what are you doing?

22:18.000 --> 22:20.000
Obviously, I'm not signing it.

22:20.000 --> 22:22.000
Why?

22:22.000 --> 22:24.000
Because I'm afraid.

22:24.000 --> 22:26.000
What is there to be afraid of?

22:26.000 --> 22:35.000
Of myself, Professor. Of what I know now, what I'm going to know in the future. Of what you and Dr. Frost may ask me to do.

22:35.000 --> 22:40.000
Afraid to make contribution to scientific progress, undreamed-of progress?

22:40.000 --> 22:44.000
Professor, remember the sixth sense you gave me. Do you know what I can see?

22:44.000 --> 22:49.000
I can see beyond the test tubes and the telescopes, all your theories and experiments.

22:49.000 --> 22:55.000
And I don't see one important thing. I don't see happiness.

22:55.000 --> 23:01.000
Only fear in falling buildings. That's all I see coming out of my super sense.

23:01.000 --> 23:08.000
I suppose then that you think that all my work, our work, is to go to death and destruction?

23:08.000 --> 23:09.000
It might.

23:09.000 --> 23:10.000
That's not fair.

23:10.000 --> 23:15.000
Isn't it? What happens if I sign the contract? Who makes the decisions?

23:15.000 --> 23:19.000
These are things I can't honestly answer.

23:19.000 --> 23:28.000
I know. That's what I mean. It might be out of your hands then. Governments would pay billions for me. Our own country would guard me like Fort Knox.

23:28.000 --> 23:37.000
I would be the most valuable thing in the world. Alive, even more valuable for some people dead. But a thing, not a man.

23:37.000 --> 23:42.000
That's not going to be for me. Not that way.

23:42.000 --> 23:50.000
All this work, everything we've done doesn't mean anything then. It's all for nothing.

23:50.000 --> 23:56.000
I don't know. I'm sorry. I guess you picked the wrong man for the job.

23:56.000 --> 23:58.000
What are you going to do now?

23:58.000 --> 24:04.000
In fact, my things go away. I don't know where. It doesn't really matter.

24:04.000 --> 24:12.000
Jessica, I probably won't see you again before I go. Thanks for everything.

24:12.000 --> 24:16.000
And I'm sorry you feel that I've let you down.

24:16.000 --> 24:43.000
So long.

24:43.000 --> 24:48.000
Ah, that is that.

24:48.000 --> 24:50.000
Oh, I was just going to...

24:50.000 --> 24:52.000
Try to talk me out of it.

24:52.000 --> 24:56.000
No. Yes, I was, but not anymore.

24:56.000 --> 25:00.000
Oh. I'm very glad you changed your mind.

25:00.000 --> 25:03.000
What are you going to do?

25:03.000 --> 25:14.000
I don't know. Not yet. Kind of funny. Going out of here almost the way I came. One suitcase, I can quote.

25:14.000 --> 25:19.000
Only difference, I've got all the knowledge of the world up here.

25:19.000 --> 25:24.000
I don't know what I'll do with it. I haven't been able to think. Not clearly.

25:24.000 --> 25:29.000
I know one thing, though. There are a lot of things I can try.

25:29.000 --> 25:30.000
What?

25:30.000 --> 25:35.000
Cancer, heart disease, dozen other things. Might not be bad for a start.

25:35.000 --> 25:40.000
Oh, that's not bad for a start.

25:40.000 --> 25:46.000
Do you think you might need someone to help?

25:46.000 --> 25:51.000
Yes. Yes, I think I might.

25:51.000 --> 25:56.000
I've talked to Professor Baird. I think perhaps he understands.

25:56.000 --> 25:57.000
Ah, does he?

25:57.000 --> 26:01.000
Yes.

26:01.000 --> 26:08.000
It's... it's a little uncomfortable for a woman.

26:08.000 --> 26:14.000
I'm not supposed to say anything until you do.

26:14.000 --> 26:17.000
You already know what I'm thinking, don't you?

26:17.000 --> 26:24.000
Let's be old fashioned. I love you. Will you come with me?

26:24.000 --> 26:28.000
Yes. I love you, too.

26:28.000 --> 26:31.000
I know.

26:31.000 --> 26:34.000
Come on, let's go.

26:45.000 --> 26:53.000
Under the direction of Antony Ellis, this cape has brought you The Man from Tomorrow by Irving Reese, starring Lawrence Dubkin as Dix.

26:53.000 --> 27:00.000
Featured in the cast were Vivi Janis, Edgar Berrier, Kurt Martell, Jack Carroll, and Barney Phillips.

27:00.000 --> 27:10.000
The special music for Escape was composed and conducted by Leith Stevens.

27:10.000 --> 27:19.000
Next week, we present a story of two boys and the dreadful game which they played.

27:19.000 --> 27:24.000
You might have read about it in your newspaper. It might have happened in your town.

27:24.000 --> 27:29.000
And if it did, it must never happen again.

27:29.000 --> 27:49.000
So listen next week when Escape will bring you Antony Ellis' terrifying play, The Game.

27:49.000 --> 27:53.000
Would you be interested in the Elsop family, how it diminished and grew?

27:53.000 --> 27:58.000
We suspect you would be for its tomorrow night's crime classics drama on CBS Radio.

27:58.000 --> 28:02.000
Don't miss crime classics on most of these same stations.

28:02.000 --> 28:06.000
This is Roy Rowan speaking.

28:06.000 --> 28:29.000
And remember, Bill Cullen's Walk a Mile show is heard every Monday evening on the CBS Radio Network.

28:36.000 --> 28:40.000
The Game is a production of the U.S. Department of State.

28:40.000 --> 29:07.000
The U.S. Department of State is a proud sponsor of the U.S. Department of State's National

29:07.000 --> 29:20.000
